It's a small world after all.

This was taken in Teddy Bear Castle at the photo booth, called Mermaid Bears.
On the left is Liz and the right, Shallina. Ok so here's the deal.
On friday night I went to WA Bar in Suji. WA Bar is owned and run by Canadian Ex-pats and is the total hot spot for foreigners on Friday nights. So after class on Friday night, I high-tailed it over to Suji to meet Liz at the Pizza Hut (yes they are everywhere too) so that we could walk over to the Bar together. Liz and I met when we both did the Korean testing for the government last week... and somewhat out of necessity and the fact that we actually had a lot in common... we started to hang out and have become really good friends. She is from Memphis and has the greatest southern accent. Funny thing is.. since we have been hanging out sooo much together... I have found that I have picked up her Southern Twall on some of my words. So I think I sound kinda funny with my french Canadian/Southern voice.
OK but back to the WA Bar... So we went to the WA Bar and met up with some of Liz's friends. It turns out that Shallina... the second face in this picture.. graduated from Laurier with me and we actually knew each other first year... and were in the same rez. How creapy is that! It is nice to have someone though who, when I talk about some comforts of home, actually know what I am talking about.
Needless to say we have become really good friends.
OOOO... this is soo unlike me. K so at the WA Bar we had Taquilla shots.... and I tried... for the first time... a Flaming Zambuka. K.. I am in no way endorsing this... but when a cute guy with a dreamy English accent offers to buy you a shot... well how can you refuse!?! So I licked my lips... put the shot in my mouth... leaned back... and he lit the shot in my mouth on fire. It was the weirdest thing ever! My mouth got hot... yes... and that is when you swallow it (when you can feel the burn) but the alcohol tasted absolutely amazing. I probably wont ever do that again... but hey at least I can say that I did it.
Saturday, we (Liz, Shallina and I) went and saw 11:14 starring Hillary Swank, Patrick Swazy and Rachel Leigh Cook. For an indie film... it was really good. Plus we got to take the subway alone and it was sooo much fun!
Sunday, we went to Itawon and Insadong. These areas are where the tourists go for the great knock offs... and since it is next to the army base... almost everyone speaks English. It is funny. Though I know that I am in Korea... sometimes I forget and think that I am back in Markham. The geography may be different... but it reminds me a lot of home.
Anyways... that was my weekend. It totally is a small world. I am going on 1 month here in Korea... and I have found that I have changed drastically.. emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I am not afraid to try new things... I have lost sooo much weight (damn stairs)... and I am learning to just sit back and enjoy the ride... and let things happen in their natural course. If I chose to come back to Canada to complete my life... I know that I will return a completely different person than the way I left.
